Reddit Ebony OnlyFans Models: 10 Mistakes Posting on Reddit
Estimated Reading Time: 3 min 23 sec
The Reddit journey can be frustrating for you as a Reddit ebony OnlyFans model. You create content, post it, and monitor the results only to feel like giving up. You are not alone in this bout of sleep-depriving emotions and stunted growth. Just like many other Reddit ebony OnlyFans models, there are mistakes you are making. Fortunately, there are solutions to those mistakes.
What content do you post on OnlyFans? Adult or non-adult? Faceless or face-revealing? Either way, Reddit does not discriminate compared to other platforms such as TikTok. But, there is a caveat. Reddit’s social structure is based on communities manned by moderators ruling using written and unwritten rules; therefore, making it easy for you to commit unforeseen Reddit posting mistakes.
Despite the caveat, you cannot afford making mistakes. Why? Reddit’s communism makes fan-hunting simpler. Reddit communities, also known as subreddits, host numerous members, with some such as OnlyFans101 having more than 1.4 million members. To have steady fan-hunting success on Reddit, you must avoid these posting mistakes:
- Posting on a poorly optimized profile
- Posting on the wrong subreddit
- Posting poor quality content
- Using boring captions and not search engine optimizing them
- Posting inconsistently and not monitoring analytics
- Not engaging with your audience and posting within other creators’ comment section
- Posting complete videos and totally revealing pictures
- Spamming communities
- Posting during inactive hours
- Not working on your karma count
You are bound to lose the privilege of getting many fans from Reddit communities if you commit these mistakes. A mistake such as posting on the wrong subreddit may get you kicked out of a community because your content is irrelevant.
Some Reddit ebony OnlyFans models have reported Reddit bans without notice or proper reasons. According to Reddit, they do allow NSFW “not safe for work” content on their platform but they do not support the physical sell of sexual services. Some of the accounts banned included OnlyFans links and Linktree links.
But, if you read the whole Rolling Stone report, you will realize that some models reporting unanticipated bans committed some of the mistakes mentioned. If you are a beginner or expert Reddit ebony OnlyFans model marketing your OnlyFans services, but failing to make sales, gain insight into different ways you can avoid making these 10 biggest mistakes posting on Reddit to boost your OnlyFans subscriber count.
1. Posting on a poorly optimized profile
Once a Reddit user loves your post, they are likely to check your profile first before they even click on the link you have embedded within your post. If the user finds a marketing-centric profile, they will immediately click off the profile and dismiss the thought of clicking any other link they find on your profile.
The Reddit community as a whole consists of an audience aged around 18 to 40 years, a few aged 40 plus and fewer less than 18. Most of these users know the ins and outs of Reddit and can easily spot a great promotional profile. Generally, the Reddit community does not love marketers; rather, they prefer genuine Reddit ebony Onlyfans content creators who are out to help people and to pass on their experiences to solve various problems.
Avoid creating marketing-oriented profiles despite marketing being the main aim of you being on Reddit in the first place. Your profile should serve a specific group of people, showing them that you do understand their pains and have the precise solution they desire. This is the only way you can optimize your profile so that it starts generating you more leads and fans.
First, review the type of content you post on OnlyFans and the niche you serve. The niche and content type should guide you on the process of coming up with a valid Reddit username and display name, and selecting an avatar. Aligning your user and display name with what you do makes the name memorable and findable through search. For example, if you are selling feet pic on OnlyFans, a username such as, “u/xxfeetpic_Elsi,” would do.
Rather than allowing you to upload a profile picture, Reddit gives you the option of selecting an avatar. There are free and premium avatars. Select avatars indicating that you are a Reddit ebony OnlyFans model. If you have the budget to invest in a premium avatar, do so because it sets you apart from the other creators.
Second, review the audience you serve on OnlyFans and create a persona description. A persona description defines the demographics, psychographics, gender, age, pain points, and traits of the audience likely to consume Reddit ebony OnlyFans content. Do not copy your OnlyFans persona descriptions if you have any. Use your OnlyFans persona descriptions as an inspiration.
You avoid copying personas because your OnlyFans subscribers behave differently from Reddit community members. Only copy the pain points because that is the main reason Reddit users would consider subscribing to your OnlyFans.
Vary the demographics, psychographics, age, and traits based on the community you join. Varying these four aspects of a superb persona description means you have to come up with numerous persona descriptions. This move gives you more advantage when hunting for fans.
Despite having the liberty to create several persona descriptions, the one thing that does not change is the pain point and the gender. You may consider changing the sex later but the pain points rarely change. Use the pain points as the balancing point to come up with an impactful message that you will upload to Reddit’s about section.
The message on your profile’s About section should speak to one person informing them your mission. The mission should include a specific problem and how you solve it. Conclude your message with a precise call to action. For example:
Top 0.1% 🔥, here for you, all the way. Helping you relieve stress and claim unforgettable calmness. Link in profile and posts. Subscribe and DM 🔥
The above message makes it all about the value that the user will receive from you and directs the user on what to do next. Always include a clear, precise, and actionable call to action bearing in mind that Reddit limits your profile about section write up to 200 characters.
Despite being small and kind of insignificant, your Reddit banner image also contributes to the users’ perception and decision making once they land on your Reddit ebony OnlyFans profile. Design a banner image depicting the value of your content with a great background image.
You can blur the background image but ensure the message informing the user the value they would receive from your content is close to the upper edge.
Other than setting up your username, display name, avatar, about message, and banner image to depict your content and value you offer, there are other settings you can adjust to get the most out of Reddit. Reddit’s profile settings are geared towards helping you as a creator gain traction and grow gradually. Despite the advantage, check to confirm whether these settings are in your favor:
- You have the liberty to change your default location. Therefore, if you desire to change your location settings, do it.
- Ensure all notifications toggles are on so that you can easily monitor how your posts are coming up. Find the settings under the notifications tab within your profile settings area. For example, toggle on chat messages, inbox messages, mention of u/username, upvotes on posts, and comments notifications.
- Specify your gender so that Reddit improves what content you see. Find this setting under the account tab.
- For your fans to easily reach out to you, allow chat and messaging. Find this setting under the chat and messaging tab. Change the, “Who can send you chat request,” and “Who can send you private messages,” setting to everyone.
- Allow Reddit to email you various notifications. You can change this setting within the email tab.
- Change your privacy setting to allow your profile to show up in search results. This change favors you because your username and display name rhyme with the Reddit ebony OnlyFans content category.
- In case you have a Twitter account, connect to it to ease promoting OnlyFans on Twitter.
- Under the profile tab within your profile settings section, ensure that you have allowed people to follow you.
These are just a few of the settings you can alter within your Reddit profile settings. They contribute mostly to your Reddit ebony OnlyFans posts’ visibility and analytics. You can also check the other settings and toggle them based on your liking.
2. Posting on the wrong subreddit
Reddit organizes every user into various subreddits for easier interactions and bond building among people interested in specific topics and content. Subreddits are run by moderators and you can join any that focus on Reddit ebony OnlyFans content and promotion.
Each subreddit has rules that you must follow, else you risk being removed from the community. Rules govern interactions, marketing, and the type of content you can post within the subreddit. For example, some subreddits do not allow you to place your marketing links within your Reddit ebony OnlyFans content but to comment on them.
Always keep yourself up to date with changes in the rules to avoid being kicked out of the subreddit. At times, some subreddits do warn you when you break a rule but continued disregard of the rules leads to a permanent ban.
Note that there are subreddits specifically for NSFW content; therefore, if you do post Reddit ebony OnlyFans NSFW content, only post on those subreddits. Additionally, do not join random NSFW communities and start posting content because at times it might be irrelevant. For example, posting on a blonde subreddit yet you are an ebony is a waste of time because you are an alien in the blonde space.
Not considering the primary topic of discussion of a subreddit leads to you communicating to the wrong audience. Review your persona descriptions and research to determine the most suitable subreddits to join. List established and relevant subreddits with about 100,000 members plus and prioritize them. This way, you can have an easier time tweaking your Reddit ebony OnlyFans posts for each subreddit.
If you create faceless OnlyFans content, avoid subreddits that depict models with their faces. Posting among creators that show their faces stiffens the competition especially if they are beautiful and have fit body layouts. Reign among members that serve faceless content just like you.
Once you become popular and garner several loyal followers, create your own subreddit. Owning a subreddit means you get to become a moderator and keep your loyal following close to you. You can use the subreddit to update your fans when you put up a new post on OnlyFans so that they will be the first people to pay for your content and have fun consuming it. This tactic sustains your monthly gains from OnlyFans.
3. Posting poor quality content
Posting grainy, blurry, and dark videos or poorly lit and edited photos is a complete turn off. Moreover, why post videos with poor audio quality? Did you know that users might readily tolerate poor video and image quality, but they will never stand poor audio quality content? No one is ready to waste their precious time watching or viewing poor quality videos and images.
Shooting high quality and visually appealing videos and images is not costly. If you cannot afford a camera, buy a decent camera phone. Check the resolution of the main lens of the phone’s camera before purchase.
Resolution refers to the number of pixels within a photo; the more the main lens of the camera can produce, the better. A full HD (High Definition) camera lens would do the trick, but if you have the budget, get a phone that shoots in 4k. If you are shooting videos and photos using a phone, use the main lens and not the selfie camera because the main lens has a greater resolution.
To shoot stable videos, get a tripod. Tripods come in different sizes and shapes configured for either smartphones, cameras, or both. Select a tripod based on the device you have. To save on cash, you can go for a tripod that can hold both a smartphone and camera and one that you can easily adjust.
To shoot well-lit videos and photos, shoot during the late afternoon or in the morning hours. If the afternoons are cloudy, you can also shoot great videos and photos. Alternatively, you can use artificial light sources such as ring lights to create appealing videos.
To obtain crispy audio, use external microphones as opposed to the camera or smartphone inbuilt microphones. The inbuilt microphones tend to record poor high pitch sound with unpleasant bass capture. If you do not have the budget to cater for a quality wireless microphone, get a fairly priced wired microphone.
You can also use software video and image enhancers to tweak the outlook of your content. Software such as Premiere pro allows you to color correct, stabilize, slow down your content, and do more.
Consistently posting high quality content hooks your audience when promoting OnlyFans on Reddit. Serve your audience with content shot in different formats and from varied angles to make it more intriguing. High quality content encourages your audience to check out your OnlyFans as they become more eager to view your high-quality exclusive content.
4. Using boring captions and not search engine optimizing them
Captions on Reddit allow you to describe what is going on within your Reddit ebony OnlyFans videos or images. If you are an NSFW content creator, all your content is usually blurred and the user relies on the captions accompanying the content to know what you have to offer.
In case the caption is not catchy, honest, and does not describe what you are wearing or doing within the video or image you have posted, they would lose interest in your content quickly. Users are less likely to click on boring captions. Furthermore, click bait captions will ruin your reputation because they lie to the user.
Writing long-form captions without undertaking keyword research would lead to your posts appearing in unintended search results. This means your content would be found by the wrong people; thus, not converting as expected.
When writing short captions, ensure they are persuasive. You can use various rhetorical devices such as alliteration, anecdotes, and statistics to hook your audience. You can also describe an activity or the outfit your audience will view within your post.
Write your long-form captions after carrying out a thorough keyword study.
There are long-tail and short-tail keywords. Long-tail keywords have more than 3 words and attract less but highly converting fans. Short-tail keywords are composed of less than 3 words and attract a huge fan base but are less converting. Incorporate both short-tail and long-tail keywords when writing long-form captions.
5. Posting inconsistently and not monitoring the Reddit ebony OnlyFans posts analytics
Posting once or twice a week or a month would not get your posts the attention they deserve. In case your first posts gain quick traction and you do not post any more content, people might forget about you. Even when you come back and create more content, it might take time before your audience warms up to your content.
Not monitoring analytics on Reddit will hinder your growth rate because you do not know the mistakes you make. Monitoring analytics such as the number of upvotes you receive and what people say on the comment section can help you grow quite fast compared to not taking heed of them.
Ensure you post consistently to keep your audience interested in your content. Create numerous videos and images and schedule their posting dates and time. Shooting videos and photos earlier enough gives you more time to incorporate creativity into them.
Scheduling and posting consistently allows your audience to know when you love posting your content. They will be anticipating your content and once you post, your content will have tremendous engagement at a single go boosting the relevancy of your Reddit ebony OnlyFans content and encouraging Reddit’s algorithm to display your content at the top.
The key analytics you should monitor is the number of upvotes your posts receive. The more the better. You can use platforms that offer upvote boosts to get more upvotes within a short while. Reddit’s algorithm ranks posts with more upvotes at the top of the posts within a community. More upvotes also get you more Karma which are Reddit’s authority points.
Monitor what your audience is saying within the comment section. Work on correcting your posts based on the audience’s comments. Always block trolls because they might get your account banned. You can know the usernames of those you have blocked by checking out your blocked list within the profile settings area.
6. Not engaging with your audience and posting within other creators’ comment section
Your subscribers purchase ebony OnlyFans content because they desire to have a personalized connection with you and all the other creators. The same reasoning applies to Reddit. The subreddit members engage consistently with the creators they love and hijacking their creators’ comments makes you seem desperate.
Create engaging Reddit ebony OnlyFans content by incorporating questions, call to actions, and curiosity-triggering statements within your posts. The rules of engagement apply even if you are creating NSFW or SFW content. Take time to respond to your audiences’ comments.
Keep your notifications on at all times so that you can help out users who would love to subscribe to your OnlyFans but do not know how. Some Reddit users may be new to OnlyFans and may require your help to sign up and subscribe.
Avoid hijacking other creators’ comment sections with your Reddit ebony OnlyFans posts. Rather than hijacking, provide a genuine review of their content and embed your link within your comment or invite them to follow you. You can offer to follow them back as a network creation truce.
7. Posting lengthy videos and totally revealing pictures
The aim of having an OnlyFans is to sell exclusive content and get to keep the 80% cut from OnlyFans. Therefore, your complete and totally revealing but exclusive content should always be behind a paywall. Offering lengthy videos and totally revealing pictures on Reddit makes you lose more income because the subreddit members get to consume all the exclusive content for free.
To avoid losing income, always post GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format), short-form videos, or less revealing photos. Posting fragments of your content makes your audience curious and anxious to view the whole video or photo. Hence, take a part of your best OnlyFans content and create GIFs to lure your audience to your OnlyFans pages.
Post GIFs and photos to relevant subreddits. Create both slow and fast motion GIFs to grab and keep the attention of users. Rather than posting single images, you can combine them to create rapidly changing slides and posting as a video. The rapid change of photos keeps the focus and attention of your audience.
8. Spamming communities
Surprisingly, despite Reddit allowing you to join numerous communities, Reddit discourages posting the same video or photo with the same caption to more than three communities. This act is termed as spamming because once someone visits your profile they will view the same post that you put up on different communities.
Avoid spamming communities because it makes your audience view you as a lazy creator. Create content unique and relevant to every community you join. When relevant, only repurpose specific posts to a maximum of two to three communities.
Spamming communities might get you banned from them because you are literally plagiarizing your own content. Subreddits require creators to post original content that is fun, entertaining, creative, or educational. If you appear to be spammy, users might report your account to Reddit as being too promotional leading to your account being banned permanently.
9. Posting during inactive hours
Posting to communities during random hours, mostly when the members of a community are inactive will hurt your post visibility, upvote count, and relevancy. There are so many creators fighting for the attention of viewers and they all put up new posts consistently. Therefore, if you do not time your posts correctly, your posts will always receive the last bit of visitors because many of them have already gone through the top best posts and continued with their daily activities.
Use tools such as delay4redddit.com to know when the members of a particular subreddit are active. Prepare your posts and schedule them for posting at that specific time. After posting during the specified time, keep interacting with your audience and genuinely serving them. Quick responses encourage users to act first, at times without thinking twice about their actions.
Posting during the active hours allows you to start creating a loyal following because many of your fans realize that you do understand their needs. Eventually, you might have a chance at convincing a specific fraction of the subreddit members to join your subreddit to consume your content following your schedule.
10. Not working on your karma count
Karma on Reddit resembles gold because without it there are certain communities you cannot join, comment within, or even post within. Karma points serve as authority points helping members within communities evaluate your relevancy, contribution rate, and Reddit usage frequency.
Reddit determines the number of karmas you get for each post by subtracting your downvotes from upvotes. Downvotes in Reddit are like dislikes while upvotes are likes. For example, if you get 100 upvotes and 20 downvotes, your total Karma gain will be 80.
You can get karma points from either posting or commenting. Post karma is generated from your posts, while comment karma is generated from your comments. Get more karma by posting on various subreddits and commenting. There are subreddits geared towards getting karma such as the “free karma” subreddits.
Getting several downvotes on a post can reduce the number of karmas you get, but the number will never go beyond 10. That means you can only lose a maximum of 10 karma points despite the number of downvotes you get.
As a trick to erase your poor reputation records, delete Reddit ebony OnlyFans posts that receive several downvotes. Deleting posts on Reddit does not affect your karma count. Therefore, take advantage and create a great record by deleting unsuccessful posts. It might seem like cheating but it is a great way of building authority as long as you use the privilege positively.
